Paloma Faith, Miriam Margolyes, Ben Bailey Smith, Tameka Empson and Bethan Wright have all signed up for guest roles on 101 Dalmatian Street, Disney Channel’s new animated series based on Dodie Smith’s novel and the Disney classic 101 Dalmatians.

101 Dalmatian Street is set in modern day London in the borough of Camden. The series follows the adventures of eldest siblings Dylan and Dolly, their parents Doug and Delilah, and 97 younger puppies, whose names also begin with ‘D’, in an epic comedy about family life, multiplied one hundred and one.

101 Dalmatian Street is written by Maria O’Loughlin and directed by Miklos Weigert, with Cara Speller serving as executive producer. Passion Animation Studios, headquartered in London and employing an international crew of more than fifty artists, serve as lead producers for the series, with Atomic Cartoons in Vancouver providing animation services. It was developed by Disney’s UK-based original animation team working with Gigglebug Entertainment in Helsinki, who provided concept development and are creating short form and digital content to accompany the series. The series will be introduced with a special episode in December ahead of the season premiere in 2019. Disney has 10 x 2’ shorts, 40 x 11’ episodes, and 5 x 22’ specials. The UK premiere is eyed for spring 2019, and it will continue to roll out on Disney Channels globally throughout the year.

“This series is a fast and furry family comedy about a family of dogs living in a human house in Camden Town, London, with great characters and top notch storytelling our audiences have come to expect from Disney Channel’s animated series”, said Orion Ross, Vice-President of Content fir Animation, Digital & Acquisitions at Disney Channels EMEA. “We’re honoured to reimagine a Disney classic, creating something truly new, and working with exceptional global talent to make it happen. I’m particularly pleased that the creative heart is based here in London, where the series takes place, with Passion Animation Studios. We’re excited to introduce our audience to not only our new cast of 101 Dalmatians but also the diverse array of local characters who each bring unique and entertaining personalities to 101 Dalmatian Street.”
